Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3379

Andrew waved his hand and said, "You two don't need to be so formal. Right now, everyone in Holtrien stands together as one. Nobody's doing anybody any favors. We're family, and when family needs backup, you show up. That's all this was."

Atticus looked pleased. "No wonder Pablo of the Hearst royal family was willing to honor you as the leader of Holtrien. My family is convinced as well. If there ever comes a day you need us, Mr. Lloyd, just say the word."

…

Back at the Cavendish royal family's main base, a victory banquet was held.

Andrew did not stay long because he left with Shiloh to unlock the Greene family's hidden treasure site.

Shiloh explained, "I already confirmed the location. It is northwest of the Cavendish royal family territory. But it seems dangerous inside. I have never entered it, and honestly, no one from the Greene family has stepped inside for generations."

She looked hesitant and uneasy as she glanced at Andrew.

Andrew smiled. "Let me see the map. Don't worry, as long as I'm there, we'll move carefully."

Shiloh spoke softly, "Actually, Andrew, if you have other things you need to deal with, you don't have to come. Joe and the others can go with me. We should be able to manage."

Andrew shook his head. "Nothing is more important than this. Shiloh, you are the mother of my child. I won't let you face danger alone, understand?"

Shiloh blushed and nodded obediently.

Nyx smiled and added, "As Remyn's second mommy, I don't agree to letting you go alone either. Shiloh, let's go together. I'm curious about the secrets of your Greene family too."

Shiloh smiled back. "Alright. Let's head over together."

The Cavendish royal family's territory sat in the northern reaches of Holtrien, and the location Andrew was looking for lay in the northwestern stretch of that land, right where the map pointed.

Shiloh said, "I drew this map after years of investigation and piecing together clues. It may not be perfectly precise, but the general direction should be correct."

Nyx asked curiously, "Shiloh, your family doesn't seem to have a good reputation in the Holtrien underworld. Is it all because of this treasure?"

Shiloh replied coldly, "Yes. When I was very young, the people around me were killed because they were guarding the treasure and its secrets. In the end, I was the only one who survived. Later, I stopped aging and became immortal, and I no longer fit in with anyone around me.
